Abstract

Purpose: Adult vaccination, which is among the duties of family physicians, is an important issue that reduces morbidity and mortality. In this study, it was aimed to evaluate knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors of adults about adult vaccines.

Materials and methods: This study is a descriptive, cross-sectional research; which was performed by a questionnaire including sociodemographic data and questions about adult vaccination to the patients and their relatives who applied to Şişli Hamidiye Etfal Training and Research Hospital Family Medicine Polyclinics for any reason. Mean, standard deviation and chi-square tests were used for the analysis; p<0.05 was considered significant.

Results: The study included 182 people, 93 of them were women (51.1%) and 89 (48.9%) were men. The mean age was 32.9±12.8 years; most of them (n=144, 79.1%) were high educated and 38.5% were married. The most known vaccine was tetanus (n=154, 84.6%), the least known was zona vaccine (n=30, 16.5%). Health care professionals and television (n=60, 33%) were the most information sources about vaccines (n=78, 42.9%). Vaccination was mostly (26.9%) recommended by family physicians 144 (79.1%). The students had more knowledge about human papilloma virus (HPV), zoster, and measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines (p≤0.05), and mostly the information was got from internet and school (p≤0.05). As education status increased, knowledge about tetanus, hepatitis A, pneumonia, and HPV vaccines increased significantly, whereas only tetanus vaccination was performed in practice (p≤0.05). As the income increased, knowledge about pneumonia and HPV vaccines increased, but vaccination was not performed as expected.

Conclusion: Age, occupation, education, and income level are directly related to knowledge and attitudes about adult vaccination. Adult vaccines are still not known and performed enough in Turkey. It is important to encourage and increase the number of trainings via media on this subject.

土耳其成人疫苗相关知识、态度和行为

目的:成人疫苗接种是家庭医生的职责之一，是降低发病率和死亡率的一个重要问题。本研究旨在评估成人对成人疫苗的知识、态度和行为。材料与方法:本研究为描述性、横断面研究;对以任何理由向Şişli Hamidiye Etfal培训和研究医院家庭医学综合诊所提出申请的患者及其亲属进行问卷调查，其中包括社会人口统计数据和成人疫苗接种问题。采用均数、标准差和卡方检验进行分析;结果:共纳入182例患者，其中女性93例(51.1%)，男性89例(48.9%)。平均年龄32.9±12.8岁;其中大部分(n=144, 79.1%)受过高等教育，38.5%已婚。已知最多的疫苗是破伤风疫苗(n=154, 84.6%)，最少的疫苗是带状疱疹疫苗(n=30, 16.5%)。卫生保健专业人员和电视(n=60, 33%)是疫苗信息的主要来源(n=78, 42.9%)。家庭医生推荐接种疫苗最多(26.9%)144例(79.1%)。学生对人乳头瘤病毒(HPV)、带状疱疹、麻疹、腮腺炎、风疹疫苗的了解程度较高(p≤0.05)，主要来源于网络和学校(p≤0.05)。随着受教育程度的提高，破伤风、甲型肝炎、肺炎和人乳头瘤病毒疫苗的知识显著增加，而实践中仅接种破伤风疫苗(p≤0.05)。随着收入的增加，肺炎和人乳头瘤病毒疫苗的知识增加，但疫苗接种没有按照预期进行。结论:年龄、职业、文化程度、收入水平与成人疫苗接种知识和态度直接相关。在土耳其，成人疫苗仍然不为人所知，也没有得到足够的接种。重要的是要鼓励和增加通过媒体进行的关于这一主题的培训。

期刊介绍： ACS Applied Bio Materials is an interdisciplinary journal publishing original research covering all aspects of biomaterials and biointerfaces including and beyond the traditional biosensing, biomedical and therapeutic applications. The journal is devoted to reports of new and original experimental and theoretical research of an applied nature that integrates knowledge in the areas of materials, engineering, physics, bioscience, and chemistry into important bio applications. The journal is specifically interested in work that addresses the relationship between structure and function and assesses the stability and degradation of materials under relevant environmental and biological conditions.
